What is the Terracotta Server Array?

The Terracotta Server Array (TSA) provides the platform for Terracotta products and the backbone for Terracotta clusters. A Terracotta Server Array can vary from a basic two-node tandem to a multi-node array providing configurable scale, high performance, and deep failover coverage.

The main features of the Terracotta Server Array include:

• Distributed In-memory Data Management - Manages 10-100x more data in memory than data grids
• Scalability Without Complexity - Simple configuration to add server instances to meet growing demand and facilitate capacity planning
• High Availability - Instant failover for continuous uptime and services
• Configurable Health Monitoring - Terracotta HealthChecker for inter-node monitoring. For information, see "Configuring the HealthChecker Properties" in the BigMemory Max High-Availability Guide.
• Persistent Application State - Automatic permanent storage of all current shared in-memory data

• Automatic Node Reconnection - Temporarily disconnected server instances and clients rejoin the cluster without operator intervention
